So turns out its not only Spur fans who think Paul is a jerk

[theMUHMEshow]

I was talking to a friend who is not a spur fan, he was actually rooting for phoenix and without me bringing it up, brought up the fact that Paul acts like an arrogant little . I thought it was our Spurs blinders who made us think that. The surprising thing is 2 other ppl in the table that are Celtic fans completely agreed. all 3 of them dislike him.

they also told me one thing I missed. during game 1 or 2, after Duncan shot a FT, Paul walked all the way in front of DUncan when he tried to get the ball back for his 2nd FT. Duncan got so pissed he grabbed the ball and used it to push Paul out of the way.

why this guy gotta act like a little prick?

good to know the "dislike" for Paul is legitimate in this forum...

I think I dislike Chris Paul more than anyone else in the league, and I would take Deron Williams over him in a second. I hate his whiney, y punk ass

Now San Antonio, BEAT HIS ING ASS!

Whatever. But you don't think it's a little ridiculous so get so defensive when the facts are:
1) Tim Duncan has 4 rings, 3 Finals MVPs, 2 NBA MVPs, 10 AllStar teams,11 All NBA teams,10 All Defensive teams (and I'm sure I've missed some); has with stood the test of time, has already earned his place in basketball history as one of the greatest players of all time
2) Chris Paul, an amazing talent, has earned ROY/NBA All Rookie Team, 1 All Star team, 1 NBA 1st team; will probably have a superb future/career(has yet to be seen)

Now what part of "respect" do you not get? Probably the same part CP doesn't get.

Hey, I will not deny Tim Duncan is one of the best players to play the game. Once again, you can't deny facts. But you're saying he should be honored to be on the same court as him??? I can see being that way, maybe the first time CP played the spurs THREE YEARS AGO. But its a division rival. Been there, done that 15 times. The shine has worn off and now they're compe ors. CP was probably just trying to frustrate TD and it seemed to have worked. Everyone tries to do it to the other team's star in their own way. CP isn't big enough to hold him or bang him around down low (that's what she said), so he does it his own way.

Julius Hodge also shed a tear for Chis Paul's grandpappy.

Maybe if the story included chris paul spilling his tequilla on his chimichanga while attempting to hit a pinata y'all would have liked it better.

Hey you are absolutely right. During the game they are equals as compe ors and should push as hard as they can. But what we're talking about here is between free throws!!
No difference than if Chris Paul walked up and kicked a guy who was down tying his shoe during a time out! Now will you please explain why CP's behavior during that free throw was acceptable?

[Kermit]

Hey, did you hear the story where a struggling family without food in New Orleans called Chris Paul to tell him that he was their favorite player? Chris showed up, pulled down his pants, and took a big on their front lawn. Then, everyone who saw this swears that out of the grew a money tree! Isn't Chris Paul awesome? He's just the best person to ever live! Yea for Chris!!

What? are we supposed to break down and cry every time we hear about the man's grandfather? Give me a break!

[Kori Ellis]

I merged these two threads.

Stop starting new threads when there's already another thread on a very similar subject right on the first page.

Stop cursing in thread les.

Thanks.

Bowen kicked a man in his back while on the floor. But we still love him.

you cant talk logic to bandwagon fans....

snORNETS fans bandwagoners? no! LOL

Everyone can call Manu a flopper but theres no way he puts on as big of an act as CP3.

It's pretty close. Paul just seems worse because he is arrogant.

If the Spurs win this series they won't let the calls get to them. Part of the reason why the Pistons have lost the last few years is because the frustration of LBJ and Wade getting a lot of calls overcame their resiliency.

[HornetGumboBalls]

Being that i did not notice this incident, no I cannot confirm or deny acceptable/innapropriate behavior. But has bowen's cheap shots been acceptable just b/c they are during play?

Really, HE WALKED IN FRONT OF HIM AFTER A FREE THROW! Could he possibly have been going to talk to his teamates and upon turning around, accidently be right in front of Duncan? You are all acting like he walked in the lane, and stood there and was denying him the ball. I'm pretty sure the refs would have had something to say at that point.

yeah I woulda done the same if I was hit in the balls. Any MAN would have. It's one of those uncontrollable things.

I have no problem with the guy being confident and standing up for himself. I'm glad the guy realizes he's a good basketball player.

That doesn't give him a ticket to act like a jackass and not treat other players with respect. Especially players who have been around ten times longer and accomplished ten times more than he has.

Regardless of how much you like Paul or not, he's not a ing superstar because he got past one First Round series. And he needs to quit acting like it.

This is one of the biggest reasons I can't wait for the Spurs to shove this series right back in his face and down his throat.
